Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Astra Scientific Gear Train Model.
This mechanism is a differential gear train whose gears are all spur
gears. It is basically a combination of two planetary gear trains on
which the two sun gears are coaxial. The function of this mechanism is
similar to the previous differential gear train. When the mechanism is
driven and both wheels are releasing free, all spur gears are running;
when the right wheel is held, the right sun gear will become fixed but
the other gears are still rotatable; when the left wheel is held, the
left sun gear will become fixed but the other gears are still rotatable.
This mechanism is applicable for the situation that requires two
controllable inputs
